About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
